I just hope that K-State does what is best for us. We need to get something out of the deal if we accept, whether it's money or the rights to air the game on KStateHD.TV.

We demand 1 million and that both College and BBall gameday be in Manhattan next year.  Also. game also to be on KstateoHD.tv

Very  :lol: at some of our fans, and fans of other schools in regards to the LHN.

If K-State agrees to play them, and it's going to be a pretty big game, I can see it being broadcast on one of the ESPN channels.   If it's not going to be a relatively big game, then who cares?  It may turn into a nice pay day for a game where there may not have been one.

The LHN simply is the status quo only with Texas having their own network.   Does it matter if Texas is able to sign 20 5 star guys instead of 18 (the rest 4 star, or high 3 star)?  Does it matter if Texas makes $80 million more than just about everybody else instead of the $60 or $70 million more they make now?  

The whole attitude about the LHN is both  :facepalm: and  :lol: at the same time.

Do the right thing Currie, if we can get a good TV payday for a ROAD game, do it . . .  DO IT!!!

I say we do it.  We'll get more exposure being on LHN than not since it will be such a big deal for them.

This is crazy talk.  Last year, the Longhorns limped into Manhattan with a 4-4 record, having just lost back-to-back home games to Baylor and Iowa State.  The game was televised nationally on ESPN.  Has a K-State vs Texas game ever NOT been televised nationally? (Hint: no)

Why would we want to move our game with them from a national telecast on a big name network, to a small statewide telecast on a largely derided network? How does that give us more exposure?  How is it better for us to play a game that is seen on TV by 100,000 LHN subscribers in the state of Texas instead of being seen by 10,000,000 college football fans around the country?  Regardless of which network it appears on, will ESPN preview the game on College Gameday? (yes)  Will ESPN show highlights of it either way on their College Gameday final?  (yes)

Even Fox Sports Net would give us FAR more exposure than the LHN.  FSN is in about 85 million households nationwide.  LHN is currently in 0 households.  I don't expect it to stay at zero, but neither do I expect it to ever come even slightly close to 85 million, and certainly not this year.

I see zero advantages to playing on LHN except for money.  And the rumored $500,000 isn't anywhere close to the amount it would have to be for me to consider moving a game from ESPN to LHN.  That number needs to have a 7th digit before I even start to consider talking to them about it.

Texas' share of the $300 million contract is $11 million per year (the other $4 million goes to their partner IMG).  A K-State vs Texas football game would be BY FAR the premiere sporting event on the LHN all year (side note: this tells you all you really need to know about LHN...).  Given that, shouldn't we expect a very large percentage of their revenue for the year?  25% does not seem unreasonable.  $10,980,000 revenue x 25% = $2,745,000.  Round it to $2.75 million and they've got themselves a deal.  Otherwise, we'll be content with playing them on ABC or ESPN yet again.

Yep . . . you can spot an AOT'er a mile away.

If K-State were to sign on to play the game without some major contingencies in regards to the distribution, then Cyber might have a point.

I would have no problem with this if the payday was $1MM and was allowed to be shown on KstateHD, as long as KSU doesn't put a minimum monthly purchase on it.  I want to be able to pay $10 for November access and thats it.  I would have no problem knowing my $10 was helping get KSU another $1MM.  If this happens, i just hope KSU doesn't get gready and only offer the telecast to annual subscribers only or something. 

If the only option for people in Kansas to experience the CTR is Wyattvision there should be no way in hell they allow it.

This game would make KSU a ton of money if it were on KStateHD.TV because longhorn fans outside of Texas will have to buy a month subscription to watch the game.

You answered you own question within the post.

The biggest event on the most controversial enterprise in the recent history of college sports?  And we can make money on it?

This really doesn't require much thought.
